Cornelius Kennedy—Washington D.C., DC—The community is deeply saddened by the passing of Cornelius Kennedy, a cherished father and loving grandfather. He passed away on August 10, 2024, leaving behind his beloved daughter, Sharron Benjamin, and two grandchildren who were the light of his life. Cornelius was known for his deep love and affection for his family, especially his daughter, whom he fondly referred to as his "only one shot Baby Girl."
To honor Cornelius’s memory, Sharron Benjamin has organized a fundraiser to help cover the costs of his funeral services, as the family was not financially prepared for this unexpected loss. The fundraiser, created today, has already seen an outpouring of support from the community, with $200 raised so far towards the goal of $7,050.
Among the first to donate were Jeffrey Smith, Biañca Harsley, and Rolanda Little, with Rolanda contributing $100 to the cause. Rolanda, who shared the fundraiser on Facebook, expressed her heartfelt plea for support, noting the overwhelming grief that comes with losing a loved one, especially when combined with the financial burden of funeral expenses.
On social media, the community has rallied around Sharron, offering condolences and sharing memories of Cornelius. Rolanda Mignon Little, in her post, encouraged others to donate and help Sharron celebrate her father’s life, acknowledging the profound impact Cornelius had on those who knew him.
As the family navigates this difficult time, the love and support from friends and the wider community provide much-needed comfort. Cornelius Kennedy’s legacy will live on through the cherished memories held by his family and friends.
We extend our deepest sympathies to Sharron Benjamin and her family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this time of sorrow.
